VJ TORNA MINSK 2011

"Torna" means having a physical exercise in hungarian. We mount VJs on stages, being armed with heavy visual gears to make your eyes pop out!

VJ Torna is world touring VJ contest which offers an inspiring and entertaining experience both for visual pros and both for the general audiences. The first competition was organised in 2004 in Budapest, Hungary with the aim of gathering and stimulating video artists from the local and from the international VJ scene.

The success of the event has been confirmed by the recent collaborations born worldwide: in the past twelve moths, VJ Torna already went to Sao Paulo (Brasil), Budapest (Hungary) and Rome (Italy). In the next twelve it is planned to land in Barcelona (Spain), Bogotá (Colombia), Mexico City (Mexico) and again in Sao Paulo (Brasil) and Rome (Italy).

Minsk 2011

After fulfilling a super-sized compo earlier in Rome, the year 2011 still hasn't come to an end as we'll step on land of Belarus in September to do our favourite thing in Minsk. We carry on with the fruitful co-operation between Live Performers Meeting and VJ Torna to evolve something bigger and fancier. Again, we’ll be having fierce duels for three days between VJs coming from distant countries, and besides our part of the show, there’s the ever morphing, organically hiving italian live video meeting to give the frames.

There are 1 home-production and 2 live tournament categories you can choose to enter, as detailed below.

The jury is a sworn body of people convened to render an impartial judgement on the performance of each competitors. They are 3 to 5 industry professionals and visual aesthetics masters originating both from the host country and from other parts of the world.
